THE REoRBE OF MIsslssrRRI
want The judiciary Of that State remodelsd
80 as to make ib more convenient Aie Aees's-
sible. L i desired that division be Inaae
Of the southern district so o. 70 secure AlEe
holding Of courts ia three places - acilsons
Meridian and Mississippi City. IL Il atae
proposed that q district Judge be appointed
- preside over the courts ~ the s s y y.
district 1t is aEgueQ that when the state
WAS divided into DISTRICTS there we're no rail-
road facilities and but q lew scattering nam
lets. Within the last few years new raliroaas
have been bliilt, many towns hRye become
important commercial pOitis, and numerous
thrifty villages have sprung III along ttls
lines az railroads. by this means the bllsl-
ness Of the Federal courts has largely ln-
creased tn amount and iInpuftai1ce, and the
Old arTanR enlents Of the district b8s become
exceedingly lIlcuuyenlelit. An huaLtaonai
Judge i needed, il ls said, lot the prompE
and efficient disposition OF the business o.
the courts in AilsslssIppl, So,
An appropriation o. e 0, 600 viii be asked
OF Congress- for the purpose Of pungtrllcting

hut which, a. anartifcial work, will proba-
bly, be brought forward as q distinct measure.
IL il TO provide for the construction Of Q
canal 20 connect Bayou Ieche with Grand
Lake, at gbareniOn. The prQiect Hlil re-
u1tire an expenditure of $4,000, Of which
f.s5. GOO was appropriated some years ago,
and the effort viii be made TO have Congress
grant She balance medical IN one lump
IL is IA contemplation no open Bayou

by a dam. With the Plaqueuline opened aud
the GhareIftan Canal nOperahon, II ls said
the wafer communication with New orleans
will be shortened nearly pne-halt, and the
benefit to lower Louisiana will be very great
